"XMPP" is the new official name for "Jabber". It should suffice to explain the term XMPP ID just once in saros and not in every single wizard/dialog.
It would be better and more consistent with UI guidelines to put an explanation / hint that a jabber id is an xmpp id, next to / below the inputs, e.g. near to the example "john.doe@jabber.org".

Using "XMPP/Jabber ID" as label/title is confusing to users who don't know both, because they think they can provide either of those, not understanding that it's actually the same thing, with just a different name.

Last but not least the visual styling of the wizards/dialogs would be more harmonic only having labels without any "choices" to be made, separated by a slash "/".

Heuristics:
"Don't make the user think".
And my personal creation: "Try to look good" :-) > perceived usability is important too.

    See attached screenshot: Both wordings still exist in the GUI.

    XMPP ID is a not valid term in a XMPP context.
